Charles Sturt: EB Survey

Pay, Industrial Action, Staff Development Fund

Pay Rise - Industrial Action

The University has moved slightly on their pay offer, claiming that the Unions' 'misunderstood' their previous offer. We didn't misunderstand, the University just changed their minds.

The offer currently on the table is now:
2% for 2013 (1.5% already paid)
2% for 2014
2% for 2015

and the University has made an indication that this could be increased further at the next meeting.

Question Title

* 1. As CPSU members, do you want to lodge an application for industrial action in case the pay rise offer doesn't get increased?

General Staff Development Fund, equal to 1% of general staff salaries, is being discussed.

The negotiators are looking at skills development and training for areas outside of your area of work, and unrelated to your current job. This may be able to qualify you to a career change in this University or elsewhere. This is in addition to the current local staff training funds in your area.

The University seems to be offering at least an extra 0.5% on top of the 2% per year in pay rises instead of a general staff central development fund (which is in addition to the funds already available).
